X is positive and y is negative in quadrant IV
7(x+2) = 35
Use the distributive property:
7x + 14 = 35
Subtract 14 from each side:
7x = 21
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 21 / 7
X = 3
The answer is C. 3
Answer:
X 1 = -4,X 2 =12
EXPLANATION:
Determine the defined range
X+6/x=6/x-8,x#0,x#8
Simplify the equation using cross-multiplication
(X+6) x (x-8)=6x
Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign
(X-6)x(x-8)-6x=0
Multiply the parentheses
X^2-8x+6x-48-6x=0
Since two opposites add up to zero, remove them from the expression
X^2-8x-48=0
Write -8x as a difference
X^2+4x-12x-48=0
Factor out x from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12x-48=0
Factor out -12 from the expression
Xx(x+4)-12(x+4)=0
Factor out from the expression
(x+4)x(x-12)=0
When the product of factors equals 0, at least one factor is 0
x+4=0
x-12=0
Solve the equation for x
X=-4
X-12=0
X=-4,x#0,x#8
Check if the solution is in the defined range
X=-4
x=12
The equation has 2 solutions
X 1 = -4,X 2 =12
Hope this helps
